Instantiating And Using Stanfordtagger Within Nltk

I apologize for the newbie-nature of this question - I have been trying to figure out Python packaging and namespaces, but the finer points seem to elude me. To wit, I would like t

Solution 1:

Suggestions: a. Look on the nltk directory installed on your PC. I checked mine and stanford.py is not there (i.e. is missing in nltk/tag/ directory). You can find quickly where to look for running this:

import distutils.sysconfig
print distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib()+'/nltk/tag/'

b. If it's not there, then copy the stanford.py file from the source you mentioned to the nltk/tag directory on your PC (which you get in step a).

I hope it works out.
